I always find this time of year interesting as it is a test of the 'sources'!

On the one hand, after being with us during our worst years, going to a finals level team makes sense, but on the other hand going to a state where neither his nor his partner's family are (relevant when you have just had a baby!), and to a club where your ex-coach with whom you had several sizable run-ins is the midfield coach doesn't make so much sense!

Hello again. Thanks for Rocky. We will take good care of him and ensure he has a premiership or two before his retirement.
Good luck raiding the Crows...Lynch, Cameron and Sloane would be handy for you guys.
Now...where is my grease??

Not sure who you were talking to about grease and I'm not sure I want to know!

I feel that any pick swap involving pick 1 would have to involve something top-5 coming back. If you could upgrade one of them somehow (left as an exercise for the reader), then we've got something we can talk about.

I think something along these lines is very doable. But i reckon this trade will be left to sit on for awhile just to see if anything else comes up from other trades.

Likewise I think that Collingwood and Richmond will be pretty coy going in to any discussions given the circumstances. Sounds very much like player and club have come to an agreement rather than a trade request being made because of other clubs actively pursuing him.
